ARCHIVED - Happy Halo Day!

It's hard to believe that it's been five whole years since Bungie unleashed Halo on the world! To celebrate this momentous occasion we've got a few small announcements that may be of interest to fans of the series as well as a little screenshot from a game we like to call Halo 3.

I dont get it how only the x-box 360 will get it. how will they change machmaking? If they dont change machmaking, how will the computer change the way it finds out between x-box and xbox 360 and what about parties? how will friends be able to play with eachother if they dont have the maps to play?

ok one.. master chiefs fingers r ugly
2 this is prolly the wrong place for this but everywhere i go nobody is selling anything for xbox anymore.. it took me forever to find a controller. which didnt work then i had to drive across town for a mic.. microsoft is forcing us into the 360....

WTF Microsoft... You dont have to FORCE me to buy a 360... I was GOING to, I SWEAR I was getting around to it, making the new Halo 2 maps exclusive to it really wasn't necessary... Seriously what a bunch of dicks... This is such hostile treatment of their consumers...

Just a thought to all of you that are of age. I joined the National Guard and got handed all kinds of money for enlistment bonuses as well as for my school tuition. thats one way to get an xbox 360. holler if you have ?'s

The world would be a better place if Bungie if never been bought by M$. You guys are a glorified hardware and software marketing tool.[/quote]
Mmm 16-bit 640x480 Halo for Mac... sounds like a perfect world to me.
:P

I'm a grizzled old veteran from the Marathon Days.
The only reason I own an Xbox is for Halo. The only reason I continue to own it is for Halo 2. The only reason I will buy a 360 is for Halo 3.
You can ban or blacklist me if you want for saying this but:

I have a 360 that I bought when Bungie announced that the emulator would make Halo 2 360 compatible. I was disappointed to find that it was so glitchy that I couldn't play BTB or skirmish without it stuttering and skipping like crazy. I'm back to playing Halo2 on my old XBox. Those of you that haven't bought into the 360 hype aren't missing anything special.
M$ had better make a major improvement to the emulator before Halo 2 is fully playable on the 360.
IMHO, what they should have spent their time on is Halo 2.5 for the 360 instead of for Vista. It would have taken the same amount of effort and probably improved the takeup of the 360 alot more than it'll help the takeup of Vista.

I can afford an Xbox 360, however, I don't see a reason to get one as of now.
This is just a poor marketing move done by Microsoft to see if they can at least reach 10 million shipped by end of year, which at this point seems impossible.

i hope the halo 3 beta will be downloadable through the marketplace even if it eats up all of my memory space it will be worth it because its HALO 3. it would be a great idea on bungies part ; letting the fans give feed back on the game while its still in developement. its as if the halo nation will be helping create the next halo game. who would know more about what the halo nation wants than the halo nation its self.
THANKS for the new maps! it really makes having a 360 that much greater :)
happy halo day everyone !

if you notice they said that new maps for halo2 are coming out this spring so that means if i am correct that they have very long time before this game is even releasted. they said halo3 is coming out next spring so wouldn't that be 2008

look - after playing G0W and a few other games... Gheylo just doesn't do it for me anymore... looking at how 'cartooney' both Halo games have been, and now seeing an 'in-gheym' screenshot of the STILL cartooney-looking Master Chief - i am soooooo freakin' disappointed. i thought Bungie would step up to the plate and AT LEAST make the gheym LOOK better and more realistic. sadly - this is not the case.[/quote]
the only thing i agree with u on, is the fact that the screenshot IMHO doesnt look good... could be cus its in alpha or beta or whatever, but that doesnt look at all like the MC on the Teaser trailer, the teaser trailer looked so much more realistic, and better, this one seems like over bump-mapped and all green.. the lighting might be crappy =/
hopefully the game ends up looking tons better than this screenshot and better than the teaser since that was made quite a while ago :D
other than that i cant say im dissappointed, bungie's on the right track, i just hope that MC doesnt stay like that xD, which im kinda sure he isnt....
